University of Wisconsin President Ray Cross on Tuesday asked the Legislature's budget-writing committee to approve a new public authority for the UW System, a "dedicated and stable funding stream" and to reduce the governor's proposed $300 million budget cut over the next two years.

Shortly after he finished his testimony, a handful of protesters burst into the room shouting, "No cuts, no deals." Followed by four Capitol police officers, the protesters marched past the table where Cross was sitting to give testimony before the Joint Committee on Finance.

If Park Bank is liable for not spotting Sujata "Sue" Sachdeva's $34 million embezzlement from Koss Corp. and has to reimburse the company, Koss Chief Executive Michael Koss should also be ordered to personally pay the public company he runs, the bank argues in a new lawsuit.

Grant Thornton, Koss Corp.'s former auditor, should also have to pay a portion of any award that may be ordered, Park Bank argued in the latest twist in a long-running court fight stemming from Sachdeva's massive embezzlement.

"Park Bank denies any and all liability to Koss in this case," the bank said in its action. "Nevertheless, should Park Bank be found liable to Koss (Corp.) and required to pay damages to Koss, in this case, those damages will have been the result of a common liability of Park Bank, Michael Koss and Grant Thornton, thereby entitling Park Bank to (a) contribution from Michael Koss and Grant Thornton."(3)

Looks like Cedrick is trying to find a way out of GB. No drivers license, 40 over and dogs at large. What a fine character this guy has. Go to Philly with your dog killing friend. Or as they say in Philly, " hide your beagle Vick's an Eagle".

Rotties are supposed to be cattle herding dogs, not cattle mauling dogs. The fault is with the irresponsible owner. And NO, I do not have Rotties, but know many and their owners. They are a great working breed if taken care of and TRAINED by people at least as smart as them. Seems like the hood has finally invaded The Pack.

This is disturbing....no valid drivers license??c'mon...your a millionaire?I personally hate pit bulls...rot weilers...these animals are lethal weapons...when are we going to put people and innocent animals first? Protecting breeds that have no business in a cival society...the number of attacks many fatal are growing in this country.I would not want a nextdoor neighbor with a pitbull...they are scarey.We need to stop the breeding of vicious dogs...by passing legilation.I do love all animals but some breeds should be kept as,"pets"!!

None of this news. Some of you need to find better things to do then jump all over any packer story that gets posted. I doubt the staff or the front office or anybody else in this league including Roger Goodell gives a damn about these citations

Two animals are going to lose their life beacuse their owner was irresponsible. As a human being, I find that to be pretty sad.

As a Rottweiler-lover, the story is disgusting. Another fre@k!ng irresponsible D-b@g @$z$ of an owner giving the breed a bad name.

Benson and all owner who have episodes such as this should do some jail time. Essentially, these dogs become weapons in situations such as those they were exposed to. Benson should be treated as if these dogs were killed by his handgun. Animal cruelty, wreckless endangerment, trespassing, destruction of property... the whole shooting match. Instead, he'll pay a fine, cut a few checks, and poof, he's free.

I've got bigger things to worry about, sure. But I'm happy to rant about this peice of human slime regardless.
